I Hate Nancy.
by Charney Cale


          Now I don't want to get off on a rant here, but I'm talking about the pathetic excuse for a comic strip that appears in my Sunday paper involving that ugly bird-nest haired fat girl and her bald "My parents dress me stoopid" friend. Something happened to Nancy about a year ago. The strip was drawn differently, Nancy was more bug-eyed and it was bad, but not as bad as it is now. I don't know what happened, but at first I thought they were reprinting old Nancy's from 1940 or something, but they made a reference to a computer or the internet or something one time, so that wouldn't make sense. Maybe they found a way to transfer goat diarrhea to paper in the form of a comic strip, I mean who on this planet actually enjoys reading Nancy??? If you do, e-mail me at enjoynancy@cale.com, and tell me why.
         It makes me sick just reading it, who are these losers that write it, Guy and Brad Gilchrist?? What are they thinking!! Do they have any human contact whatsoever??
"Maybe they found a way to transfer goat diarrhea to paper in the form of a comic strip..."
         Are they stranded on some desert island creating these badly drawn, completely un-funny comic strips and faxing them to the newspaper? Now, I'm not about to say the other comic strips in the paper are good, no no no no no, I could go on for hours about this, but Nancy is just the all-time worst. There are some good comic strips out there that I have seen in magazines and on the web, but why is my newspaper and many others, printing this useless 1940's-humor crap?? What can we do about this? I'm guessing nothing, because I'm sure these guys have contracts dating back to the dawn of the printing press saying the papers must print this ignorant drivel. Even if they didn't, the papers wouldn't print anything of quality anyway because the media-influenced tastes of today's society wouldn't be able to comprehend it. Maybe you think I'm over reacting, but go read a Nancy comic strip, just any random one, and think that people are being paid to produce this. The End.
